Thinking of taking the plunge into water cooling your PC?
Actually, no, I have zero interest in watercooling. It's expensive, not entirely safe, and marginally better than effective air cooling systems.
Nevertheless, I would like to see the article, but I can't. I'm betting the host where the article is located could use some water cooling right about now.
I suppose I know what you mean, although it's from the other side. I have relatives that live in the DC area. They're staunch "Republicans", even saying they are friends with people, in spite of those people being Democrats. Every time I talk to these relatives, they constantly talk about the damage the Clinton reign has done to this country. Nothing positive about their candidate, just negative about the other side. That's the problem with the system we have in place today. Hopefully it will come to and end, and I hope it will be in my lifetime.
If Kerry gets elected, I get to remind them "hey dumbshit, you elected this guy." every time he fucks up. ... It's going to be nice having my old friends and family back and getting rid of the cannibalistic dogs they have become.
When your liberal friends express their views, they're cannibalistic dogs. But when you remind them of Kerry fucking up, it's "common sense". You sound like a great "friend".
I didn't mean to flame, and in retrospect, was a little harsh. I guess what I really meant was that the review didn't cover a broad enough range to be on the front page. That's why I said it would be better suited for a review site than/.'s front page. Someone else put it perfectly -- the "editor" deserves the flames, not you.
Hope you're enjoying the music!

This is a terrible "review"! You paid full price (your own fault), and it was a pain to enter the IP address. Yeah, it has a dock. You had problems with the OS, but didn't mention any firmware upgrades that might help solve the problem. You did something stupid that could have broken it. Great.
What about the sound quality? Battery life? User interface? Build quality? Most importantly, given the audience: why would someone purchase this over an iPod? Those are the things we care about, not your anecdotal experience. This would be fine posted on a review site where more information is readily available, but it's certainly not destined for/.'s front page.
As for single-window mode, there are plenty of extensions. Try the one called "Tabbrowser Extensions", for instance.
A little off-topic, but since you seem you might be in the know: why is TBE no longer on Mozilla Update? This is a must-have extension, and it annoys me that I have to go looking for it every time I install Firefox on someone's machine.
I find it ironic that a bunch of anti-violence, anti-gun, peacemongers, like Democrats would behave this way. The anti-Bush crowd is foaming at the mouth. Have you all had your shots?
Is there another article you forgot to link to that shows that Democrats were convicted of these crimes? Because this one sure didn't.
Democrats aren't the only ones in the Anti-Bush crowd, you know. Not by a long shot.
This guy doesn't have the one I wanted as a kid: the NEC Turbo Express. It was, to my knowledge, the first color handheld, and used the exact same games as the TurboGrafx 16. The system never really caught on big, but it was WAY ahead of its time.
I never did buy one. It cost about $300 IIRC, and when you're a kid with a paper route, that might as well be a million.
I know it's hard to think of this while the situation is going on, but you could have solved that problem by "prying" the accelerator up with your toe. I've heard cases of this working for throttle cables sticking. It's good to practice in your driveway or garage, with the car off, just to get the feel of it.
No anomaly found? Of course not. This guy is full of shit, plain and simple. A similar problem almost put Audi out of business in the 80's because of a "story" on 60 Minutes. These people were just as full of shit as this guy.
How many people actually know someone that is a competent driver that has had this happen?
Books are so 1980 to me. I know that some people rely on them, but it seems so much easier to me to find what I'm looking for on the web. Just curious: who disagrees with me, and why?
I would imagine it does, considering that "normal" automatic transmissions have this capability. At 60 MPH in an automatic, you can pull the shifter into "1", but it won't downshift. Similarly, my wife's Acura TL with tiptronic automatic will upshift at redline, even if you forget/don't want to.
Yeah, getting the car into neutral would be my first thought, too. This car probably had that option. However, some newer, fancier cars also have the gear selection electronic. The BMW 745 comes to mind. I suppose it's unlikely that two systems would fail simulatneously, but who knows?
If you really believe what you say, you should have found a different article to link to. Here's the last paragraph:
The new data certainly should not discourage parents from abandoning the supine sleep setup, emphasizes Grossman. "Play with them, hold them, but put them on their backs to sleep."
Thanks for the level-headed reply to my borderline flamebait post. I'm used to having to be on the offensive on this subject.
I really wanted the iBook to work, I just couldn't get it to integrate with my network. Stuff that I take for granted like file and printer sharing are a chore.
"Optimized" is one thing. You can "optimize" something by making it a default setting, and allowing the user to change the setting. The need to install a hack program to work around this behavior makes it a hassle. I don't care if you want to do it or not, and if it's not the common case -- I want to do it, and it's not simple to do in OSX.
You want a case? Fine. I have a particular profile set up for my Windows laptop that, when I shut the screen, the screen blanks but the power stays on until the battery reaches critical. What is this good for? My GPS software, which talks and listens to me quite well with the screen off. You wouldn't care, because it's god damn hard to find a GPS and software that will work on a Mac.
Believe me, I'm not a blind bigot. I heard all the hype, bought an iBook, and am sorely disappointed with what I have found. It's going on eBay soon. Lucky for me, lots of people have had better experiences than I have, so I will probably fetch more that what I paid for it.
Slashdot Mirror
the boot screen has taken 1.5 hours to appear, and the ETA for full boot is almost exactly 1 week!
Gee, sounds faster than my wife's ibook G3/900 with 128M of RAM! Maybe I should upgrade to this!

In Orlando County, the touch screens crashed.
Well, at least we know the red and green phosphors are safe!
I have a Radeon 7000 dual head, and Fedora Core 2 correctly set it up, no adjustments needed.

Not that everyone has the money to shell out for one of these things, but the fact that it has 4 wheels might make people less nervous about it.

P.S.: First on-topic post?
Panasonic 42" 7UY Plasma ($2200)
Um, if you're going to create an HD shopping list, wouldn't it make sense to have a display that can display full-HD resolution?
At the same site you linked to, there's one for about a grand more:
Panasonic TH-42PHD6UY
TV is rapdily becoming something for the poor and uneducated. Good riddens!
You watch a lot of TV, don't you?

So yes, they do have self-preservation already.

If there was a seventh, isn't there a chance that they used the 30 licenses while installing from other media? Just a thought.

I can't tell you who "we all" or "everyone" is. But I can tell you who "They" is.
No, it's "Di Lemming". Remember that game? God, the hours I wasted...
